Farwah ibn Abi al-Maghraʾ related to us; ʿAli ibn Mushir related to us, from Hisham, from his father, from ʿAʾishah (may Allah be pleased with her), who reported that the Prophet ﷺ said:

“Sometimes the angel appears to me in the form of a man, speaks to me, and I grasp what he says; at other times he comes to me like the ringing of a bell—then the state departs from me, and I have already retained the message.” With this wording.
